Seen the progression from Ver.3 to Ver.4 then to Ver.5 on the DD series and found the Ver.4 did the most to retain the DD characteristics. V5 has more details but crossed the line into "neutral" territory. On the Ver.5 upgrade for the "neutral" series, the improvements have been quite...

Have you guys considered that the new Ver.5 DSP1 upgrade has altered the characteristics of the DD series. IMO not quite for the better.

Regardless of Rokit 5, 6 or 8...they are still designed as nearfield studio monitors. It is not about how loud it is granted they are loud.

Agreed. They are both nearfield speakers. Not sure they are meant for what the TS intends without some compromise in sound quality. They will definitely be loud enough thought!

15" x 10 7/16" x 12"....take my word for it, it's big!

Since you have tested both the Reference.1 and Reference.8, which do you think is the better sounding of the two?   Quote:

The CD-7HE certainly looks interesting.
